Does the LANAP laser procedure hurt?

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the treatment is. Because we use a local anesthetic to completely numb the treatment areas, you won't feel pain during the procedure. Afterwards, because there are no surgical incisions or stitches, post-operative discomfort is minimal. Most patients experience only mild soreness or a "throbbing" sensation for a couple of days, which is easily managed with standard over-the-counter pain relievers.
